A (short) walk down memory lane…
Pittsburgh is a great place to have kids…
And Happy Valley…
…a great place to raise them
The eye never stops moving
Questions and consequences
- Image stabilization, frames of reference, forward models
- Optic flow parsing, self vs. objects
- What are the statistics of natural visual experiences?
- Do they differ across development?
- How do they shape behavior?
- How do they shape the developing brain?
Brain imaging is totally tubular
Just make sure to go before…
- Sorry, Jon Cohen. :(
Help us build the future…
Lessons learned
CMU ≠
The world doesn't seem to know that.
But, Google does…
Put the emPHAsis on the right sylLABle
CarNEgie Mellon
The world doesn't know that, either.
Think or thwim mentoring has its virtues
This is 'gradient descent'
ACT-R does not mean
A Cognitive Theory
MacMail 0.9 was good
- So was Word 5.1a
- Never upgrade
Avoid holy wars
- GUI vs. command line
- Mac vs. Windows vs. *nix
- Blue state vs. Red state
- Nativism vs. empiricism
- Python vs. R
- JavaScript vs. a real language
From simple beginnings…
Psychology is harder than physics
Don't have physics envy
CMU ≠ A Typical Psychology Department
Be thankful for that. I am.

Here's the story of a neural network Who was fighting for street cred in the hood. All the models had their productions. The network didn't feel good.

Here's the story, of SOARing frameworks that were 'splainin' cognition on their own. Just ACT-Rs in a play for Bobby Klatzky. But, they were all alone.

'Til the one day when the network reached its threshold. And the CPUs ran out of things to crunch. The geeks saw colleagues as their family. That's how we all became the Baker Bunch.
